#141 Type 3 ( 1892-1907 ?)

The type 3 #141 carries all the same major features
as the type 9 #41 except for the obvious bullnose feature, and
the fact that the #41-#44 series ended in 1897. No formal type
study has been performed on the bullnose series of planes, as
information is gathered it will be added to make this site more
accurate. It should be stated that the trademark on the skate
of the early bullnose planes is a 3 line trade mark and reads
as follows "STANLEY RULE", "& LEVEL CO.",
"PAT MAY 18, 1886". The third line is the addition of
the patent date for the bullnose feature, assigned to Justus Trout.
The next change I am aware of in the trademark is the stylized
Stanley Trademark, which was not incorporated until 1910. If you
are aware of an additional trademark in between these two I would
like to here of it, please email me with the details and I will
add to the study.
